$104.00 US??!! I had my neighbour's car (has ABS) done at a place called "Speedy Brake". They charged $40.00 Canadian! For the S, I'll do it myself just 'cause I like to get intimate with the car. The "speedbleeders" are waiting to go on so hopefully, these will make the job much easier as a one-person deal.

I have ALL the Fluids (Brake,Clutch,Trans, Diff,Coolant) except the engine oil (changed every 3K miles) Changed at least every 3 years.

Everything works better and lasts longer with fresh juice in them.

Bieg - The differential fluid should be changed more often - like every 15k miles (I think that's the severe duty schedule). For me that's at least once every 14-15 months.

You're correct, fresh fluids are good for your car.

My car is 3 years old but I only have 12K miles on it. It is not my daily driver. Unlike Brake and Clutch fluid I don't think the Diff oil goes bad by just sitting.

For around 30 bucks, buy mityvac ! One person can bleed brakes without worry of getting air into the system. Very easy to use !
